For two decades, Elora has hidden her true nature beneath a fragile mortal glamour, a secret her mother guarded fiercely. But when the destructive Blight-a psychic corruption eating the life from the mortal realm of Valen-breaches their defenses, it brings a captor far more dangerous than the darkness itself: Prince Kael of the Obsidian Court.Kael is breathtaking, brutal, and utterly cold. He reveals Elora as the last descendant of the Sunstone Weavers, a powerful mortal lineage bound by an ancient, disastrous Fae pact. To mend the tearing Veil separating the realms and save his dying world (and the sister he desperately protects), Kael forces Elora into a life-or-death contract.Tethered by a volatile, blood-enforced psychic bond, Elora is dragged into the glittering, ruthless politics of Aerthos, the Fae Realm. Under Kael's harsh, intimate training, she must awaken her rare Aetheric power. The closer they are, the more intense the bond becomes, revealing Kael's buried grief, relentless duty, and the raw, undeniable attraction simmering beneath his icy exterior.When the Blight finally strikes Kael, corrupting his immortal heart, Elora must gamble everything. The Obsidian Prince is no longer her jailer, but the focus of her desperate, forbidden love. To save Kael, she must master a magic that threatens to consume them both, forging a final, passionate allegiance in the face of absolute darkness.
